ANSWER: Hello Dave
Which part of 3.5 mini is connected to TV or are you saying that both ends are 3.5 mini.
If this is the case, 3.5 mini on TV is an audio in and not audio out.
Please check and let me know.
Thanks

QUESTION: The 3.5 mini in on audio in on the tv

Answer
Dave,
What you need is an audio out and please check the cable box mini to make sure it is an audio out. Best way to test will be connecting headphones to the cable box 3.5 mini.
If it is an out, you should have sound. It is a straight forward connection.
Also check on screen TV menu to see if your TV mini 3.5 is turned on.
Thanks
Thanks
